Technical Abstract

Disclosed is a method of inverse transform and sub-sampling having low computational complexity, wherein, a complicated inverse transform process is simplified, meanwhile, a sub-sampling is performed, in particular said simplified process is provided with a compensation scheme, and that is utilized to solve a distortion problem as incurred by said simplified process. This method can be utilized in a video or image codec, for an inverse transform and a sub-sampling from a frequency domain to a spatial domain, thus reducing computational complexity of a frame-size reduction transform, and increasing decoding speed. Said method is applicable in equal and unequal reduction ratios of a frame length and width.
